Millsy and the lads out and about -

They are comrades. To be fair, a day escaping the wife, albeit dressed like a Power Ranger, does sound gravy.

Got myself a buxombox bike case today. Gives me something to look forward to when this is over. Go travelling with the bike.

integrated cockpits and dissembly are not compatible.

looking forward to a weekend in Mallorca.

    Millsy To be fair, I am a wanker, so all gravy. You want a gravel bike - bang-on trend. I’m not an expert, but lots of mates do it, so could give you some recommendations - what’s your budget.

    To add to my wanker reputation, Millsy, I’m really very fucking good as this game.

      benson I had to sell my BikeBoxAlan now that I’ve got the integrated cockpit. I went for a Scicon bag - just take the wheels off and stick it in - I got one for my TT bike and it’s brilliant.

      Hopefully it will fit in. I think it will, just, although always hate taking the stem off cos I’m shit at getting iut tight again after.

        benson With the new bag, you don’t do a think apart from take the wheels off - no other adjustments at all, not even the seat post.

        Yeah but it is a bag. The buxom is proper aluminium and tough. Tricky. Although when we did GFNY a coupel of years ago mny mate took a bag and it was all pretty straightforward. Maybe I have just spunked a lot of money when I didn;t need to.

        The bags are a piece of piss and I don’t know anyone that’s had an issue with breakage. I assumed for a long time it was tripe.

        Have you bought a bike or a plane?

          I’ve seen loads gravel bikes up where I ride. They do have their limitations though. If where you live is very bumpy with lots of up & downs maybe a hardtail MTB would be a better option with 29″ wheels.

            There’s a Mondraker Dune on FB Marketplace for £650 that looks alright. Think the RRP is £2k so it’s probably stolen. But I didn’t steal it so I think I’m in the clear. Thoughts? Feelings?

              Dubman That would be shit on the road through, Dubbers. Millsy has clearly stated he wants a bike capable of both.

                Gravel bike is great on the road and on trails. Way better than a MTB does the same

                That’s a full suspension bike. I wouldn’t ride that on the road for a long period.
